Chris Distefano: Speshy Weshy

Not his best work, maybe because it's been chopped in order to be placed both on Netflix and YouTube, but you're still excited for him. Chris has a lot of heavy-hit jokes and can really rock a room, this special just didn't showcase it as much. Prime example that a comedian's likability matters, because I wasn't even upset at the result. Just excited to see him get better and better cause he's a great guy and naturally funny.

It's funny because I found out about this guy on Tom segura's and Bert kreisher's show and thought it was Chris d'elia at first; he talked about how no one wanted to buy his special and was just gonna do it regardless then put it on YouTube. I think it's kinda funny how he calls them all out, hbo, Hulu, Netflix and all, and Netflix changed their minds, bought it and still kept it in. I was kinda shocked that it's a little short at 36min but I like it. I don't want to say it but it just feels like a typical white guy comedy at first but it is funny. He seemed to wonder or try to wonder off into the edgy material content but never really commits to it here. I don't know if all his specials are like that. I love how he talks about how white guys are getting canceled and he's switching over, I loved that part. Every time I watch stand up specials I'm usually inclined to give it a 7 or 6/10 because I'm like ouu I like that, but you can't really give it a rating because humor is subjective and just depends on what you like. I just try listening to all sorts of comedy so you'll find me laughing at dry dad jokes at one moment, a girl complaining about their Frappuccino order getting messed up after spin class in the next moment and then later hear me laughing at distasteful jokes about dead babies or religion. I just think funny is funny. Chris distefano felt like white guy comedy but I still thought he was good at it and just didn't showcase what he's capable of. I mean you can tell, the specials name is speshy weshy and he calls the pandemic the "pandy wandy" and that just felt like white vibes I think.

I thought the special was pretty good. Maybe not pee-your-pants-hysterically funny, but definitely entertaining. I respect the fact that he couldn't get any networks to buy it so he produced it himself. I say, "Good for him.". Because of that, it was only filmed a couple months ago, which means the current events jokes are still relevant which is a nice change. I'll be interested to see what he comes up with next.

Chris is an excellent, hilarious stand-up......He is a master on any panel and his podcasts are absolutely fantastic......He along with Sal Vulcano, Mark Normand, Sam Morril, Gillis, List, And a few others are a group of young mid 30's coming up, really doing their thing......Size 38 waist was better but Chris is polished and is def one of the heads of the pack in the new generation of stand ups.....This is definitely worth watching and it will certainly make you LOL......Can't wait for his next special......Although unless Netflix gave Chris a boatload, He probably woulda been better off releasing on youtube.....The Super chats alone would of netted em huge $$

He said a few things that were funny but I guess I just wasn't feeling it. Not sure if it was the round about way he got to the punch lines, the topics or the physical delivery but it just didn't quite work. Comedy is different for everyone though. So, taking that into consideration along with the belief that everyone should laugh more I say go for it. It's not a long performance. If it's not for you, turn it off but if it works, you'll be glad you watched it. :)
